Produktbeschreibung
'Sociology of climate change in Africa' uncovers the hitherto sociological gap in climate change discourse with a prime focus on Africa. Literature reveals that Sociology (the Social Science) is yet to feature prominently in the climate change discourse with respect to Africa and no doubt should. African sociologists should explore the historical and system traditions that their discipline is predisposed to and pursue active engagement with the problem that is fundamentally created by human beings. This new aspiration implies setting up the necessary socio-cultural structure that includes the policy pivot and academic breadth, basically contextualized and deeply embedded with the local content; prior to the desirable external support to consolidate the local base. Historical and comparative reviews show that climate change, indeed, poses a phenomenal threat to Africa unmatched by any other region, given its permeable physical and social structures. Therefore, the sociological pathway ensures that understanding and approach are holistic, institutional and considerably, African.
